To myself (thought thought 2 myself) that I need to
Take a trip to the grociery store cause the bread is low and
The chicken I was eatin with the mash potatoes need (a little bit
Of gold) opps wrong song lyric man a little bit of pepper steped
Out the crib with the bear claw slippers robe tighed tight chest
No chest hair store close at 4 so I gotta get there cause it's like 3:50 and
I'm just wakin up and it take 5 minutes just to get to the front now

Tryna spend all I got 5 dollars so u broke man I thought I had
10 dollars so you broke then tv dinner on the counter warm
